Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel

You could have a steam train if you'd just lay down your tracks you could have an aeroplane flying if you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper going up and down, all around the bends you could have a bumper car, bumping the amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer why don't you call my name oh let me be your sledgehammer this will be my testimony

Show me 'round your fruitcage 'cause I will be your honey bee open up your fruitcage where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer why don't you call my name you'd better call the sledgehammer put your mind at rest I'm going to be-the sledgehammer this can be my testimony I'm your sledgehammer let there be no doubt about it

Sledge sledge sledgehammer
